The president has illegally declared war to stop fentanyl trafficking from a country that does not traffic that drug, claiming its leader is trafficking drugs himself, the day after pardoning a former leader of a country who is a convicted drug trafficker.

NEW: “The strategy [building homes for millennials who hadn’t had kids yet] worked — until millennials aged out of it. As they now enter their 30s-40s & start having children, they’re ditching cities where the housing stock never caught up to their changing needs.”
Bad strategy. Design for kids.

The Flex Vote Center Program brings voting directly to shelters and service centers for people experiencing homelessness. The hope is that bringing the polls to places where unhoused people are already receiving services will reduce barriers to voting.
Pop-Up Voting Centers Bring the Polls Directly to Unhoused Angelenos
Nationwide, unhoused people have some of the lowest turnout among all voters. Los Angeles County is trying to change this with flexible polling centers that meet people where they are.

Also, it goes to my longstanding point I have learned covering her: AOC is far more pragmatic than her detractors and her fans think because she is interested in advancing policy outcomes.

AOC built her own political machine. Now she’s deciding her next move.
Seven years after Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez leapt onto the national stage as an outsider, she’s learned an inside game and is considering a run for Senate or president.

never thought I could see federal law enforcement so depraved that it would negatively polarize local cops to the left, but nothing is impossible for ole Donny Trump
An ICE employee was among 16 men arrested after trying to solicit a minor for sex in Bloomington, Minnesota, police say
"When he was arrested, he said, 'I'm ICE, boys,'" Bloomington Police Chief Booker Hodges said during a press conference. "Well, unfortunately for him, we locked him up."
